EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CREATING A BEACH-INSPIRED BEDROOM

BEFORE

Though the beach was the inspiration for the design, the existing color palette was much too warm.

AFTER

To create an atmosphere reminiscent of a soft, sandy beach the walls and ceiling were painted Benjamin Moore’s Clay Beige. This beautiful neutral color helped to create a serene envelope around the entire master suite.

Shining the spotlight on custom furniture and drapery

Custom furniture pieces elevate any room especially this handsome brass and wood etagere that features both open and closed storage.

The fully upholstered channel-backed bed is also a custom piece. The blue fabric is a performance textile which boasts moisture and stain resistant qualities.

Soft, tailored linen drapery panels adorn windows in both the master bedroom and sitting room. They don a subtle stripe for a touch of pattern without creating too much visual noise.

CONCEPT

Two of our favorite architectural details were the large brick double-sided fireplace and the arched entryways that gave us a generous look into the sitting room.

FINAL REVEAL

Muted blues, sandy brown, and shades of ivory help to connect the two calm, ocean-like rooms.

CONCEPT

To give the sitting room and even greater purpose, we created zones for light work, tv watching, and lounging while reading a good book.

FINAL REVEAL

The sky was our color muse for this decorating project which seemed especially appropriate in the sitting room. With two of the four walls being mostly windows, we took the liberty of painting the ceiling the most perfect shade of blue, Sherwin Williams’ Stardew. Even if the weather outside is less than perfect for a long walk on the beach, the indoors captures the spirit of a summer on the sandy shores.

Turning mundane tasks into pleasurable pursuits

Tasks such as bill paying are made more palatable when sitting pretty at an antique-inspired writing desk.

Mother Nature performs her perfect work even in interior spaces

An arrangement of handcrafted tamarind wood bowls highlight their unique grain and color.

A custom Roman shade’s tribal print sets the mood for moments of privacy, comfort, and relaxation.

Hi Janet!
I had to do a double take to see what you meant, ha! We did nothing to change the color of the brick. My only guess is that the white balance may have been off in the original photo. I can also say cooling the paint color may have had an effect on the appearance of the brick as well. Hope this helps!
